Hello everyone!

Clipless pedals are awesome! Once you switch to them, you'll never go back. You get so much more out of each stroke, using less overall energy. Better workout for your legs too.

As J said, there are several different kinds of pedals. The pedal you choose, may also determine the kind of shoes you wear. I have toggled between road/mountain/como bike pedals and I just prefer the combo bike ones. The cleat is recessed so I can wear a shoe that looks and feel like a tennis shoe, so I can walk around on them too. Mine are technically mountain bike pedals, but more and more people are starting to use them for road biking due to the comfort of the shoe. Road bike pedals are generally bigger, requires a stiff shoe, and when you stand on them, they lift your toes up, so you walk funny!

I have Shimano SPD...Love 'em

(Hope nobody minds that I butted in here--eeks)

Hey BG and J--The HHH is Sunday, September 7 if you guys wanted to come and ride it here...of course you probably wouldn't want to do both!

I have Zoe that weekend...I might be able to swing one day or the other, depending on the Ex's schedule. Sunday is more likely than Saturday, Findlay is closer than Michigan...

Is that Labor day weekend? Or is Labor Day the 9-1-08?

Yeah I am in for all the September rides. HHH, Cereal City and all that shit. Cereal City may be the only problem since I have a wedding to go to the next weekend so bachelorette party might conflict with that.

I just filled out my paperwork for the PALM (pedal across lower michigan). It is a 6 day trip across the state in June. I am way excited.

Maybe you can train between here and Sept for drinking and riding the next day so it won't be such an issue.

And PALM!!! I'm so excited for you. That's fantastic! WTG. You are amazing. How inspiring! I'm so happy you are doing that, I know you were on the fence. I love how cycling is such a priority in your life. W00T, W00T.

I'll stop now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
